Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Dell PowerScale OneFS versions 8.2.x through 9.7.0.1 contains an improper input validation vulnerability. A low privileged remote attacker could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to loss of integrity.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

Dell PowerScale OneFS versions 8.2.x through 9.7.0.1 contains an improper input validation vulnerability. A low privileged remote attacker with network access could exploit this vulnerability by sending specially crafted input to the affected system, potentially leading to loss of integrity through unauthorized data modification.

MitigationApply the vendor-provided security patch for Dell PowerScale OneFS to address the improper input validation vulnerability. If a patch is unavailable, implement network segmentation to limit access to the OneFS management interfaces and enforce principle of least privilege for user accounts.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify the PowerScale OneFS version
    Run 'isi version' or check the OneFS web console login page footer for the version number
    Affected if The installed version falls within any of these ranges: 8.2.0 to 9.3.0 (all versions), 9.4.0 to 9.4.0.17, 9.5.0.0 to 9.5.0.7, or 9.6.0 to 9.7.0.1
  2. Verify network accessibility of OneFS management interfaces
    Attempt to reach the OneFS web interface (port 8080 or 443) or API endpoints from an untrusted network segment
    Affected if The OneFS management interface (web UI or API) is accessible from a network where low-privileged users can send requests
  3. Confirm presence of low-privileged user accounts
    Check for user accounts with limited privileges using 'isi auth users list' or review user directory integration settings
    Affected if Low-privileged user accounts exist that can authenticate to the OneFS network interfaces
  4. Identify exposed API or input vectors
    Review which OneFS services are network-accessible by checking 'isi network interfaces' and reviewing firewall or access zone configurations
    Affected if Network-accessible services accept user-supplied input that could contain specially crafted requests

The environment is affected if the installed OneFS version is within the vulnerable ranges AND the management interface is network-accessible to low-privileged users who can send specially crafted input.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 9.4.0.18 / 9.5.0.8 or later
Fixed in 9.4.0.189.5.0.8
Interim mitigation

Apply the vendor-provided security patch for Dell PowerScale OneFS to address the improper input validation vulnerability. If a patch is unavailable, implement network segmentation to limit access to the OneFS management interfaces and enforce principle of least privilege for user accounts.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

9.4.0.18 or later for 9.4.x line; 9.5.0.8 or later for 9.5.x line; latest 9.7.x or 9.8.x for 9.6-9.7.x lines

  1. Identify the current PowerScale OneFS version using 'isi version' or through the web admin console
  2. Determine the appropriate target version based on current installation: for 9.4.x lines upgrade to 9.4.0.18 or later, for 9.5.x upgrade to 9.5.0.8 or later, for 9.6.x-9.7.x upgrade to the latest available version (9.7.0.2 or newer)
  3. Review Dell PowerScale OneFS upgrade prerequisites and compatibility documentation
  4. Create a backup of the current configuration
  5. Schedule a maintenance window for the upgrade
  6. Follow Dell's documented upgrade procedure for PowerScale OneFS, typically via ISI management console or CLI
  7. Verify the upgrade was successful and the vulnerability is resolved by checking the OneFS version
Caveat Review Dell PowerScale OneFS release notes for any configuration or feature changes between versions; test upgrade in non-production environment first
